Guo Xun hurriedly ordered the guards to stop, and while gently tapping on his head, he said apologetically: "Blame me for this!" Look at me, why didn't I explain in advance that you were going to sacrifice a firecracker, so that the guards mistakenly thought that you were going to assassinate you! However, you are also responsible! I forgot to remind me that it was because there were so many things, and sometimes my mind was like mush, and I couldn't remember a lot of things. But you should explain what it is first, how can you open the box so recklessly! Their duty is to protect my safety, and when you take out the firecracker, how can you not be heavy-handed? ”

Speaking of this, he paused and said, "Fortunately, you are fine, if you are beaten to death today, do you say that you died unjustly?" Are you seriously injured, can you tell me what's so good about your firecracker? ”

Cui Wenxiu was in pain, and when he exhaled and sucked, his chest felt like he was being smashed by a giant hammer, and when he moved his little finger, the bones in his body looked like they were about to break. In normal times, he would have been moaning and screaming on the ground for a long time, but he didn't dare in front of Guo Xun. I had to endure the great pain and said, "It's okay!" ”

Guo Xun said: "It's okay, just tell me about it!" ”

Cui Wenxiu took out the fire gun from the brocade box, took a deep breath in pain, and spoke. He explained how powerful this firearm was compared to the firearms equipped in the army at this time, and began to boast about how he used this firearm to fight a battle, and how he killed my people to cry and cry for my father.

As he was talking about Xingtou, he realized that something was wrong.

Other people will smile when they hear that this fire gun is so powerful. Guo Xun listened to the power of this firecracker, his brows furrowed more and more tightly, and his face became darker and darker.

Cui Wenxiu realized the danger, closed his mouth, and looked at Guo Xun with a cold heart.

Guo Xun said with a dark face: "Tell me, how did you steal the firecracker?" ”

Cui Wenxiu was dumbfounded. He bought it at a high price, so how could it be stolen? He asked in a trembling voice, "My lord, what do you mean by this?" ”

Guo Xun snorted coldly, and said with a smile: "It seems that you don't hit the south wall and don't look back, and you don't give up until you reach the Yellow River." Today, I'm going to let you die to understand! Somebody, take out my firecracker. ”

Suddenly, someone took a firecrackle out. Cui Wenxiu saw it carefully and understood that the firearm was exactly the same as his own, but the materials were a little rough, not as well-made as his firecracker. I don't know where Guo Xun got a firearm that is exactly the same as himself, but I heard Guo Xun say:

"This is a new type of firearm developed by the Firearms Bureau under my command, a total of two mother guns were made, and I was preparing to manufacture a large number of them to equip the army, but I lost one. My people are searching for people who steal firecrackers all over the city, but I didn't expect you to eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dare to send it to the door automatically. Tell me, what are your intentions in stealing this firecracker? Do you want to get into a foreign country and sell the firecrackers to the people of Alta for high profits? ”

Cui Wenxiu complained bitterly in his heart, he auctioned the fire gun at a high price in order to seek an official position, how could he sell it to my people for high profit for no reason! Besides, he doesn't know who I am selling to! Even if you know the people of Alta, can you afford 700,000 taels to buy them with their poor and sour appearance?

He hurriedly shouted: "I bought the thing at a high price in Jiyuan...... Before he finished speaking, Guo Xun broke off: "Still dare to be hard-mouthed?" Someone, put him in jail, and interrogate me carefully! ”

The two guards came up, couldn't help but say, carried him out of the Taibao Mansion, and threw him into the prison of the Governor's Mansion of the Left Army. He spent three days in prison, which felt like it was longer than three years, and from morning till night, the punishment was not severe. He could not bear it, and according to the jailer's words, he confessed that he had stolen the firecracker and wanted to sell it to the Altan for a high profit.

It is a felony to communicate with foreign countries, not to mention that it is still a capital crime among capital crimes!

After signing the confession, Cui Wenxiu knew that he was going to die. But there was a greedy jailer, after he promised to give 50,000 taels of silver, he actually took advantage of the high wind and the dark moon to release him in the dead of night!

Cui Wenxiu escaped with his life, and first wanted to get out of the capital. To hell with what a bright future, what a rare treasure! But in the middle of the night, he couldn't go out of the city, and besides, the greedy jailer followed him closely and asked for 50,000 taels of silver, and he wanted to go out of the city.

When he returned to the inn, he gave the jailer 50,000 taels of silver, and he took the remaining two treasures and lived in an inn.

It is likely that the jailer did not let him go without permission for his 50,000 taels of silver, but was instructed by the higher authorities nine times out of ten. Instructed by whom? Who else but Guo Xun!

Perhaps, the firearm was really made by the Firearms Bureau under Guo Xun, and Guo Xun also lost a firecracker. How it fell into Li Feibai's hands is unknown, but he spent a huge amount of money to buy it, and thousands of people witnessed it.

If he was just a cloth cloth, he would die to death! But he is not cloth, his father is also a prefect, and if this case is to be closed, it must be made public. At that time, his father led a few witnesses to the capital, how did Guo Xun end!

On his first day in prison, he made it clear what had happened. Guo Xun definitely sent someone to Jiyuan to investigate at an expedited speed of 800 miles, and knew that he was wronged. But at that time, he had gone through nine deaths and his life, and his confession was signed and detained, could Guo Xun still overturn the case for him? If the case is overturned, Guo Xun will not be able to send him the handle of torture into a trick, so Guo Xun's reputation will not be ruined!

So Guo Xun thought of such a plan to let him escape from prison. In this way, he is not guilty but also guilty, and he will not dare to dwell on this matter anymore.

The more Cui Wenxiu thought about it, the more he reasoned, and he stayed in the capital for a few days, and there was no notice posted about his arrest, which confirmed his thoughts even more.

To tell the truth, he can't wait to smoke Guo Xun's tendons and drink Guo Xun's blood, how can he not repay such a deep hatred! But Guo Xun is now a celebrity in front of the emperor, and it is almost impossible for him to take revenge! Unless, he has also become a celebrity around the emperor, with greater power and stronger power than Guo Xun. So, he was even more eager to offer the remaining two treasures.

100,000 taels of silver, and he spent nearly 20,000 along the way. was knocked away 30,000 yuan by Guo Xun's servant, and 50,000 yuan was taken away by the jailer Hao, and he didn't have much money on him. But if you want to dedicate something, you don't have the money to make it, and no one introduces it, how is it possible!

For this reason, he sorted out his father's relationship and began to run to borrow money one by one. Those so-called friends, given that his father was still in the prefect's office, were not embarrassed, but there were many underestimating meanings in his words, which made him very humiliated, and he felt that he was asking for food!

Finally scraping together enough 30,000 taels of silver, he trusted the relationship again, found a eunuch next to the Queen Mother, and wanted to present the mirror to the Queen Mother.

The meeting with the eunuch was in the restaurant. The eunuch got the benefit, so he naturally said a few good words, complimenting him that if he won the favor of the queen mother, he would definitely have a bright future in the future, and he must take care of him at that time.

After being full of wine and food, the eunuch picked up a chopstick and said while picking his teeth: "What kind of treasure is yours, let our family open their eyes, and it is good to praise you in front of the Queen Mother." ”

Cui Wenxiu took out the mirror that was wrapped layer by layer and carefully protected. I thought that the eunuch would be shocked, and then smiled and praised him for being a good baby.

What he didn't expect was that the eunuch slapped his hand on the table and said, "Okay, your surname is Cui!" Your father and I are kind enough to build you a ladder to the sky, and you will fool your father with this thing! What a rare treasure in the world, the Queen Mother must be happy to see it. If you are not blind, go to the palace and take a look, let alone the queen mother, it is the palace maid in the palace, which one is not a human hand? You fucking want to die, find a crooked neck tree and hang yourself, don't drag your father to die together! ”
